FAQs
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No. The combination of leather and fabric requires manual cleaning. Machine washing can cause irreversible damage to the leather and the shoe structure.
Is the footbed removable?
Yes, the Prada Prax Trainers come with a removable leather-covered footbed to assist with cleaning and maintenance.
What should I do if the trainers get wet?
Pat them dry with a soft cloth immediately. Stuff them with paper to absorb excess moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Prada Prax is designed as a fashion lifestyle trainer. It lacks the support and shock absorption needed for running or high-intensity sports.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
The fit is generally standard for luxury European sizing, but it is recommended to consult a size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit for your specific foot shape.
How do I maintain the black finish?
Use a high-quality, black-pigmented shoe cream occasionally if you notice the leather losing its deep color, followed by a buffing with a clean cloth.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels loose or shifts while walking
Ensure the footbed is pressed firmly into the heel cavity. If it continues to shift, consider adding a thin adhesive heel grip or replacing the insert.
Scuff marks on the exterior leather
Gently buff the affected area with a soft horsehair brush or a professional leather conditioner formulated for smooth leather.
Sole grip feels slippery on polished surfaces
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or residue that may be reducing traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Prada Prax Trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then immediately wipe dry.
- Maintenance: If the leather becomes scuffed, use a high-quality neutral leather cream to restore the finish.
- Footbed Care: Remove the leather-covered footbed occasionally to air it out, which helps maintain hygiene and comfort.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or fabric fading. Use a shoe tree to maintain the shape of the trainer.
- Weather: While the materials are robust, avoid heavy rain or standing water to prevent potential salt staining on the leather.
